Got incredibly bored
Might be a good game, but after around 5 hours I just felt so incredibly bored by all the tedious searching and backtracking, all accompanied by a very very boring story (others might disagree of course).

suprisingly fun!!
not just a visual novel, this is a very good game of logic intruigue and a bit of puzzle solving but not too much. good oice work carries you through and the animation never gets in the way. good for story more than anything but actual gameplay was a close second.

Great Characters and atmosphere
The Counicl is a Character driven adventure game. The characters are great, and especially hit the spot for a history buff. The dialogue choices have real consequences, and it is important to get to know each character. The 19th century scenery is spectacular.

Cliche'd Mess
Started out fairly strong, but the whole plotline went into a sadly predictable direction. In addition to that, by the 4th episode the gameplay (wandering back and forth through the halls) becomes very tedious. Great graphics a good music, however, as well as the overall character design. The team (partially funded by the European Union, interestingly enough) blew a chance to do something truly unique, rather than the whole antireligion trope that was delivered at the end (and boy did it end abruptly - we're talking about five minutes to wrap up a 12 hour game). Some sloppy continuity errors/gaffs in the later episodes as well. Would not recommend.

Jonesing for a Telltale-style adventure?
The game takes place at the island mansion of a secretive power broker, shortly before the rise of Napoleon. It's an unusual and fresh setting for intrigue, where grandeur and sophistication seem in sharp contrast to cruelty and violence. Some things about "The Council" will feel very familiar to those familiar with the now defunct (kinda-sorta-mostly) Telltale Games and offerings like "TWD" or "Wolf Among Us". Control your character from a mostly third-person view, walk around, talk to people (shifting into a more cinematic style of back-and-forth, sometimes with a time limit between choices), collect things to put into your inventory, solve puzzles. The most significant difference is that there's a sort of light RPG element cast over things, one geared towards social conflict, not combat. You are encouraged to learn other characters' weaknesses and immunities, maybe learning that your skill in Etiquette can be used to fluster those unused to high society but that a statesman will run circles around you in Politics. You have a limited stock of energy to wield the skills, which can often lead to more favorable outcomes. There seem to be a significant number of story branches. Many may not have long-term significance, but help to flesh out the story, giving the player a sense of success and failure (echoed in a "you succeeded in- you failed in- you could have-" summation at the end of each chapter, complete with XP allocation and new skills). "The Council" falls prey to two big criticisms. The energy to use your skills is mostly renewed by discovering consumable items, and their availability is erratic. The game also gets visibly rougher in later chapters, mostly ceases to provide new settings or characters, and over-relies on recycling its assets. It feels rushed and anti-climactic. Still, it's a strong game from a relatively small team, and will ease the pain of those missing Telltale. Its problems merely drop it to the level of "good", instead of "great."
